Ah, now I think you have hit on the biggest question that may expose RA's broadcast offering and show their immaturity. As a broadcaster, if you are buying the "superior" product, you will want a non-competitive clause in the deal so the "lesser" product, club rugby etc cannot provide any...

That being the case will it splinter the supporter base that usually likes the weekly afternoon outing? We know Union people really aren't ones for change. Peter to pay Paul?

So would most Brumbies fans! ;):D

And yet there are reports that Foxtel are trying to work with CA to get a reduction to the Rights they bought and 7 Sport who is a key player is prepositioning to terminate the CA broadcast contract. I would interpret what he said as pure marketing spin. The reality is most of those sports he...

I think you will see Lance next year. I actually think its a wise move to stay on. One more year in the Brumbies system provides security and time to develop without the pressure even if he is not a starter. it will him up well for the following year. By that stage the I think teams will be...

Whist I have the milk crate out, I just don't get what RA are trying to achieve? There is a pretty clear narrative around sport both here and abroad ATM that if you can find a bubble, it comes with additional costs. So there is balance of how many team your carry, how many games you play, and...

Based on what I have read about Twiggy's views, Clarke is one, albeit only one part, but a significant part, of why Twiggy has no interest in working with the current RA Board. I am still trying to work out why the TT etc is still the key conversion when you should be securing income security...

IMHO, I am starting to wonder if the COVID was a blessing in some respects for Aussie rugby? For years we had the constant story of not having enough talent coming though etc and always needing to cut. But then all of sudden this year we have had no choice but to use lots of newbies and it...

The ball is in touch or touch-in-goal when: The ball or ball-carrier touches the touchline, touch-in-goal line or anything beyond. A player, who is already touching the touchline, touch-in-goal line or anything beyond, catches or holds the ball. If the ball has reached the plane of touch...

Interesting. Has a wing spot almost assured, Canberra local, coach raves about him, would be a step backwards; love to know what the supposed issue is? :confused:

The offside; I have not said either way if it was correct or not, only that it would have been an interesting review. Personally I am surprised they didn't check the offside and I would not have been surprised if they ruled it offside. It's what my initial thought was. As for Tate: guilty...

Bit better picture . Note where Angus is which may explain why he did not consider the offside straight away.

As per my post: Below is one step after Ryan turns after retreating (best screen grab I can get)........

I don't think Tate is in the mix TBH. In time maybe; makes too many mistakes and can struggle with game control. Part of reason I believe Thorn has him coming off the bench lately. This week he was great, last week his lack of vision and poor decisions really hurt the Reds. Give him time, worth...

It would have been interesting to see what the TMO called if they actually had reviewed it. IMHO I don't think it was as clear cut as many think. Noting the TMO was actually applying the laws as they are written; must have clear and obvious evidence, like the other calls on the night this is a...

Do we really think that a Champions league (whatever you want to call it) that requires any TT or beyond that involves travel is realistic? All RU's will make the simple business decision to get the cash cow out to pasture and maximize the $$$ every chance they get for the next few years...

Reading through all of the posts about the 8 team TT stupidity, I have one question. Noting that RA, NZRU, and SARU are all struggling financially to keep their boats afloat, who is paying the bill for Fiji? I doubt the FRU will be paying. Even the Kiwis charged them $250K to host a Maori...

White. He is also the logical choice if we are cost cutting which I believe we will need to do.

I fear a QLD V NSW state of union may actually be the proverbial straw for many supporters and the perception of the public. Simply put, albeit based on circumstantial evidence, the the game simply caters for 3 unions, NSW, QLD, and the necessary remaining bits. If the past actions in relation...
